Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Tongland

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Tongland

  • Acrylic baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Tongland

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Tongland

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tongland

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tongland use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
